Don't get the Westley's Bleche-Wite on your wheels though.

Wesley's for me too.

Good advice above to take very special care if you have BARE ALUMINUM wheels. You can really marr them with aggressive wheel and tire cleaners. But I've never had problems with Wesleys on chome nor clearcoated aluminum (for the past 15 years on both types of wheels). Still, I don't spray it on the wheels intentionally .

I remember seeing a product that was a plastic disc for covering wheels to prevent product overspray, but what made it unique was that it had a telescoping action so that you could alter it to fit various wheel sizes. Maybe it was from Griot's or California Car? I thought that would come in handy when spraying Bleche-Wite.

I use Westley's Bleach (Bleche) White and a Brillo Pad. The Brillo helps with the stubborn stains.
